Our mission:

AbodesJoy trains and empowers diverse learners – women, nonbinary folx, and transgender people – in home repair to build skills, confidence, and community. 

Our vision: 

Home is vital to humans. We envision a world where women, nonbinary folx, and transgender people feel:

  • Inspired to create comfortable and joyful living spaces;

  • Empowered to sustain, improve, and give back to their communities;

  • Equipped to negotiate with contractors and home repair companies; 

  • That they possess skills and literacy toward home equity and economic mobility; and

  • Confident that they can do more than they previously thought possible.
